Individual Assessment
Our London clinic treats advanced jaw tumours, but as with most medical conditions, early intervention for less invasive cases is just as important.
At our Harley Street clinic, an experienced oral and maxillofacial consultant will carry out a thorough physical examination and discuss your personal and family medical history. Your concerns and how you feel about your condition will also be carefully considered.
We use the latest technology for imaging and microscopic evaluation, which may help avoid the need for a biopsy. If a biopsy is required, it will be performed with care, typically by the specialist overseeing your diagnosis.
A consultant’s expertise in visually assessing cancers is the most important factor in diagnosis, but advanced scientific testing can provide additional confirmation.
Diagnosis goes beyond what is visible on the face or inside the mouth. It is crucial to determine whether deeper tissues are affected to create the most effective treatment plan for you.
Targeted Treatment
Treatment for oral and facial cancer may involve radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or targeted biological therapies, but surgery remains the most common and effective approach to fully remove the cancer.
The type of surgery, or whether a combination of treatments is needed, will depend on the specific type of cancer, how advanced it is, and your overall health.
Throughout your treatment, you will be in the care of a specialist who understands the importance of preserving both function and appearance. Unnecessary tissue damage is avoided, and when required, advanced restorative techniques are used to help achieve the best possible outcome.
At our London clinic, we take a supportive and personalised approach, tailoring treatment to your condition, symptoms, and personal preferences. Our shared goal is to help you become cancer-free while minimising the impact of treatment on your daily life.
Care at Harley Street
Your care will be led by the consultant you get to know, an experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeon who works alongside a multidisciplinary team to provide comprehensive support.
Most treatments can be carried out in-house, including at our day surgery unit. If a hospital stay is needed, we work with leading private hospitals in London to ensure you receive the highest standard of care.
We understand that oral and facial cancers can be deeply concerning, both in terms of health and appearance. The potential impact of surgery can be worrying, especially for more complex conditions.
That’s why we provide specialist, precise treatment to address your condition, alongside expert restorative surgery when needed. If you have any concerns, please feel free to arrange an appointment with a consultant or speak to our knowledgeable team for guidance and reassurance.
